Hello, today I took some pictures, because I noticed the unusually black face of this fly. It looks like a Sarcophaga. Is it a sick fly or exists really such funny looking species? Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [120.45Kb] |

My guess is that is a newly emerged Sarcophaga in which the ptilinium is still everted. See here: http://en.wikiped...i/Ptilinum |

I saw a similar case (http://www.dipter...ost_180730) and got the same answer  . |

Thank you for answers. It is the first time that I see such a fly with the ptilinium everted. Maybe it is here a permanent condition, because wings do not really look fresh. Marion |
